The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Bent pushrod - freshly rebuilt 261. Why?

Update:
Just wanted to thank everyone for your help on my project.
After much hair-pulling-out, ulcers, etc.... I'm on the road. The 261/T5 is running great (knock wood) and I'm enjoying the car. There is much left to do, but at this point, I couldn't be more please with the outcome.
And I could not have done it without alot of help from friends both local, and online.
Thank you!
Joe
